ALPS RULE
ALPS - Apex Legends Rulebook
1 – All competitors of a team must be in the LiveOfficial Esports Discord server with their discord nickname being identical to their in-game name.
– This can be done by right-click > change nickname in discord
– If possible, make sure all your teammates have the same clan tag to make spectating easier. This is not required but would be appreciated.
1.1 – All competitors must use the voice chats provided in the LiveOfficial Esports discord server. Each team has a personalized channel.
E 1.1 – CHECK-IN on CHALLENGERMODE first and after on DISCORD. – IMPORTANT After check-in on Challenger Mode, the captain needs to go to our discord and send in the a-check-in room (Format: Team name – @Player1 @Player2 @Player3, Streamer – LINK OF TWITCH, YOUTUBE OR KICK.) All players must use the voice channels provided in the discord Sign-up closes an hour before the tournament starts. One player must be streaming on each team (with VOD) or they will not be able to participate.VODs must be kept for 7 days before you delete
Minutes before the game, the game code will be dropped in #game-codes Make sure you keep an eye on Discord. The absence of responses will result in a replacement.
NOTE: If you leave the tournament before the end, you will be banned and won’t be able to play any LiveOfficial Esports tournaments again.
– In free tournaments, teams that don’t check in on Discord after checking in on Challenger mode will be replaced by another team.
– After the check-in, the team leaders are responsible for answering the admin in a short time, if admins do not receive an answer, the team will be removed from the tournament. Reason: (many teams sign up, don’t read the rules, and forget to check in, they only show up 1 hour before the game starts. This is unacceptable, as it takes us a long time to organize tournaments and make everything fair for all teams).
1.2 – Competitors may join the support voice channel in Discord if they need support from a member of staff during the tournament.
1.3 – All competitors must be prepared to be dragged to a different voice channel for an interview after any game (if needed). This will usually be done with first or second place. If you are using a different form of voice chat, eg. Xbox live, Playstation, or in-game VOIP, make sure at least one of your team members is connected to the discord voice channel.
1.4 – No other person may enter the competitor voice chat and competitors may have no communications with anyone other than their team members during a tournament game.
1.5 – We will be using 2 separate servers during the tournament. Every 3 games, we will take a short break and swap to the other server. We will send you the token as soon as the server is set up and you, as the captain, are in charge of getting your team into the server and providing them with the token. The token is the tournament join code.
– Competitors may not share a match code with anyone other than their teammates. If competitors are found in violation of this, their team will be subject to penalties up to and including disqualification.
– Similarly, if a code is leaked on a competitor’s live stream, the same penalties may apply.
1.6 – After each game, competitors will be sent back to the lobby. Please wait for staff to change the team names in-game before joining a team, as these reset after each match. Keep pre-game chat clear for admin announcements unless you’re having an issue. Staff will give info in the pre-game chat, such as letting you know when to join your teams, or whether we are changing to a different server. We MAY end a game within 2 minutes of it starting if we get a broken server. Please do not panic if this happens.
1.7 – Competitors are required to be present in the match lobby at the scheduled start time. It is advised to arrive 15 minutes before the start time. We may wait up to 15 minutes from the start of the FIRST match only.

Explaining differently.
You choose a POI, there are already a few contests selected on the POI site. RIGHT AFTER dropping, if the contests are happening, no one can 3rd party to the contest that’s happening already
But only after dropping. Middle game etc, feel free to join the fights. We love sandwiches

STREAMINGS

3.1 – If you or anyone on your team is streaming the event, you MUST include that you are playing in the “LiveOfficial Esports” tournament in your stream title. We will also provide a small, non-intrusive optional overlay that you do not have to use, but we would appreciate it if you do.
3.2 – You may also choose to use a stream delay.
3.3 – Re-streaming of the event is acceptable, but in order to appeal to sponsors in the future we ask that you encourage your viewers to stop by the main event stream.
3.4 – Using information given to you, as a streamer or player, by a member of your chat room or somebody watching the main tournament stream, counts as metagaming and will be punished with the same severity as stream-sniping. Please make sure your moderators are purging metagaming messages.
